moniker modakapriya (one who likes modak) in Sanskrit. During Ganesh Chaturthi, The puja always concludes with an offering of 21 modaks to Ganesha as prasadam (प्रसाद). So today I have prepared this Instant version of Modak by using khoya. Khoya or Mawa Modak is a mouth melting, and Shahi treats to our taste buds. It has its unique taste and texture. The best thing is that it is much easier to make than the traditional modak. Celebrations or festivals like Ganesh Chaturthi is the time to make abundant varieties of Modaks, and Khoya Modak is one of them.Preparation and Cooking Time: 15 Minutes.
